Answer:
Inbreeding
Explanation:
Inbreeding results in homozygosity ( homozygosity -the possession of two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes by an individual) , which can increase the chances of offspring being affected by deleterious or recessive traits. This usually leads to at least temporarily decreased biological fitness of a population (called inbreeding depression), which is its ability to survive and reproduce.
